Flat Earth theory is a pseudoscience that proposes the idea that the Earth is not a sphere, but rather a flat disc. The theory is not supported by scientific evidence and is widely considered to be a conspiracy theory. The fact that flat earthers have not found the edge of the earth is because the earth is not flat, but round. The earth is a sphere and its curved surface makes it impossible for someone to reach the edge. The earth is also so large that it is impractical for someone to travel around its entire circumference. Additionally, scientific evidence such as satellite imagery, astronaut photos, and the fact that ships disappear over the horizon as they sail away, all confirm the roundness of the earth.
so wheres the edge huh?
devils advocate:most of that is assertion fallacy.
some of it is based on the assumption that the earth is round. what one can do on a round earth model also works on the proper flat earth model
"imagery and photos" can be shopped
"disappearing ships" can be explained by the inverse square law? or? emmert's law, (they just 'become to small to be seen)
"wheres the edge" in the proper flat earth model the edge is past antartica.
a proper flat earth model. the edge is antartica
